SWANSON, KOAT ACTION SEVEN NEWS. BRAD WINTER AND HANNA SKANDERA ARE AWARE OF THE PROTESTS AND TECH PROBLEMS. HOW DO THEY THINK THE FIRST DAY WENT? ALBUQUERQUE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, BRAD WINTER SAYS THAT THE FIRST DAY WAS A SUCCESS. DURING A DRY RUN LAST MONTH, APS DID REPORT SOME TECHNOLOGICAL ISSUES. THE NEW STANDARDIZED TEST IS TAKING ENTIRELY ON COMPUTERS -- IS TAKEN ENTIRELY ON COMPUTERS. FROM WHAT I HEARD EVERYTHING WENT WELL. THE DAY WAS NOT WITHOUT SOME HICCUPS. ONE LOST POWER, AND ANOTHER WAS PUT ON LOCKDOWN. NEW MEXICO'S SECRETARY OF EDUCATION, HANNA SKANDERA, IS PUTTING A POSITIVE SPIN ON THINGS. OVERALL, IT WAS A GREAT DAY. APS, MORE THAN 1700 STUDENTS CHOSE TO OPT OUT OF THE TEST. HUNDREDS OF OTHERS CHOSE TO PROTEST THE EXAM. DESPITE THE OPPOSITION, SKANDERA SAYS THE PARCC WILL HELP OTHERS TO COME AROUND TO. JUST KNOW THIS IS IMPORTANT. AS FOR APS, WINTER SAYS HE WILL STAY THE COURSE.

QUORUM HEALTH RESOURCES DID NOT DO ENOUGH TO PROTECT THOSE PATIENTS. THIS IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARD RECEIVING THOSE DAMAGES.

AT THE TIME, A WOMAN IN HER 20'S GOT IN HER CAR AND WAS HIT BY THIS RED SUV AROUND 3:00 IN THE MORNING. THE CAR TO GOLF AND IN WOMAN WAS INJURED. APD TOLD US THEY WERE INVESTIGATING IT AS A ROAD RAGE INCIDENT. THAT WAS EVERY SIX. THREE WEEKS LATER, POLICE ARE NOT SAYING ANYTHING. JUST DAYS AFTERWARD, THEY FILED A REQUEST ASKING FOR DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE CASE. WE GAVE APD THE TIME, LOCATION, AND DESCRIPTION OF THE CRASH. THE DEPARTMENT DENIED A REQUEST SAYING IT NEEDED TO BE MORE SPECIFIC. THE RECORDS DEPARTMENT HAS A LOT OF TURNOVER. REPORTS ARE USUALLY FILED WITHIN 15 BUSINESS DAYS. SO FAR THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED. APD IS ALSO REFUSING TO RELEASE THE NAME OF THE WOMAN THAT WAS HURT. THE DEPARTMENT USUALLY RELEASES THAT KIND OF INFORMATION WITHIN 24 HOURS. THE LIEUTENANT DO NOT WANT THE INFORMATION OUT, BUT HE WOULD NOT SAY WHY. FINDING OUT WHY ALBUQUERQUE POLICE ARE REFUSING TO GIVE US INFORMATION WHICH THE PUBLIC HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW.
